| Popis: | Experiences with transcatheter embolic occlusion of 12 hypernephromas are presented.Tumor occlusions were performed preoperatively in 6 of the patients to aid surgical management. In the 6 inoperable cases, embolizations were performed for palliation of specific symptoms and to reduce tumor size, usually in conjunction with chemotherapy.Results of the preoperative embolizations are encouraging as surgical resections have been facilitated with decrease in operative times and blood loss. Follow-up data are presently accumulating in the inoperable cases.Pertinent technical considerations of tumor infarction and side effects of the procedure are discussed. |
